RUMOR: BLACKBERRY MUSIC SERVICE TO COST $5 PER MONTH FOR 50 SONGS

According to All Things D the rumored Blackberry Music Service (BBM), that we reported on earlier this week, will cost $5/month for access to 50 songs. The BBM will run on top of the messenger service. Earlier reports have RIM in discussions with the big music houses and reportedly have already secured a deal with at least one of them.

The BBM is seen as a way for RIM to break out of the enterprise market, which they at one time dominated but in recent years have seen the iPhone and Android overtaking it, and into the consumer market.
